< Proverbs 8 >

1 ¿ Not wisdom does she call out and understanding does she give forth? voice her.
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 At [the] top of [the] heights on [the] way between [the] pathways she stations herself.
She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 To [the] side of [the] gates to [the] opening of [the] town [the] entrance of [the] doorways they cry aloud.
She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

5 Understand O naive people prudence and O fools understand heart.
O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Listen for princely things I will speak and [the] utterance of lips my [will be] uprightness.
Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For truth it will utter palate my and [is] an abomination of lips my wickedness.
For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 [are] Righteousness all [the] words of mouth my there not among them [is] a twisted [thing] and a distorted [thing].
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
9 All of them [are] right to the discerning [person] and upright to [those who] find knowledge.
They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Take discipline my and may not [you take] silver and knowledge more than gold chosen.
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For [is] good wisdom more than jewels and all pleasures not they compare with it.
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom I dwell prudence and knowledge of discretion I find.
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13 [the] fear of Yahweh [is] to hate evil pride and arrogance - and a way evil and a mouth of perversities I hate.
The fear of Yhwh is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the perverse mouth, do I hate.
14 [belong] to Me counsel and sound wisdom I [am] understanding [belongs] to me strength.
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes they rule and noble [people] all judges of (righteousness. *L(H)*)
By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 [is] good Fruit my more than gold and more than pure gold and gain my more than silver chosen.
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 In [the] path of righteousness I walk in [the] midst of [the] pathways of justice.
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 To give as an inheritance [those who] love me - substance and treasuries their I fill.
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22 Yahweh he created me [the] beginning of way his [the] beginning of works his from then.
Yhwh possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 From long ago I was installed from [the] beginning from [the] beginnings of [the] earth.
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there not [were] [the] deeps I was brought forth when there not [were] springs abounding of water.
When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before mountains they were planted before [the] hills I was brought forth.
Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 Until not he had made [the] earth and [the] open places and [the] first of [the] dusts of [the] world.
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When established he [the] heavens [was] there I when marked out he a circle on [the] surface of [the] deep.
When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When made firm he [the] clouds above when became strong [the] springs of [the] deep.
When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When set he for the sea - limit its and [the] waters not they will transgress mouth his when marked out he [the] foundations of [the] earth.
When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 And I was beside him an artisan and I was delight day - day playing before him at every time.
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Playing in [the] world of earth his and delight my [were] with [the] children of humankind.
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 And therefore O children listen to me and how blessed! [are those who] ways my they observe.
Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Listen to correction and act wisely and may not you neglect [it].
Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 How blessed! [is] a person [who] listens to me by keeping watch at doors my day - day by watching [the] doorposts of doorways my.
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For [one who] finds me (he finds *Q(K)*) life and he obtained favor from Yahweh.
For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of Yhwh.
36 And [one who] misses me [is] doing wrong to self his all [those who] hate me they love death.
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
